I lost weight and now I seem to have gained 4 pounds back. I am so mad at myself.

What stage are you in?

Don't worry as you become more active and start eating real food again your weight will go up and down. Best thing is stay away from the scale.. I only weigh once a month, and I also journal on my lose it app every bite, lick or taste of food that I eat. Many times when you start working out your weight will go up a little as muscle weighs more than fat. Measurements are more accurate that the scale really is.

i gained about 4 lbs when i got to eat real food as i wasnt having enough protein and had too much food period...with some poor choices. so i got back on the wagon. my dr should clear me for regular (using core, etc) exercise this tuesday. I have lost it almost all back again but like you, i was so mad at myself. i went back to journaling. considering i had been really good till last 1.5 weeks, i guess it just shows..willpower still counts! and setting good habit. I am enjoying losing weight and getting into lower clothes sizes, rediscovering my real face, etc to stop now. deb
